Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.

AprOpOs to the story of LincOln's
Gettysburg address, which will be
found on the second page, writer in
the Boston Herald furnishes the fol-
lowing interesting "Reminiscences
The writer hereof was present, sit
ting on the platform, within 10 feet of
President Lincoln. The Grafton of Mr..
Everett, though not his best produc-
ton, by any means, was able and
graceful, delivered with the full force
of the orators ripened art. At it's close
President Lincoln stood up, holding
carelessly in his hand sheet of note
paper, and delivered his speech, with
out hesitation, in a high, clear tenor
voice, which was heard for long dis
lance over the hushed assembly. Sew
eral times the silence was broken by
spontaneous applause, and the won
derful fitness and beauty of the Ian
guage were certainly appreciated by
many present. The writer remembers
turning to a friend as the president
sat down and saying, "That is per-
feet gen." 1t is hazardous to speak
of events which occurred "a years ago,
but the writer has the impression that
President Lincoln made little reference
to the sheet of paper he held in his
hand, and that he did not wear specta-

Concerning Bridges.

Prof. Vose of the Massachusetts, In
stitute of Technology, who made a
critical examination of the Bussey
bridge wreck at Roslindale, Mass, has
been looking up the matter of highway
bridges and declares that they are as a
rule even more unsafe and less care
fully inspected than are those on rail-
roads. On an average, one year with
another, no less than forty bridges,
highway and railway, he says, are
wrecked in the United States every
year. His suggestion is that the state
legislatures should take the matter
sharply in hand and establish system
of careful state inspection independent
of any inspection made by railroad
companies or town or city authorities.
The suggestion is an admirable one
provided that men of Prof. VOse's sci
entific and practical knowledge can be
appointed to do the inspecting. But
when we read of that inspector who
accepted bridge on the Illinois Gen.
trail the other day, just in time to see
it collapse of its own weight, we in
cline to the opinion that the average
inspector is weaker than the average
bridge.

Romance In Real Life.

A very romantic story of the success
of Vermonter comes from Vergennes
by the way of Brattleboro. Howard
Burge, it seems, for several years
jeweller in Vergennes, though econOm-
ical and industrious barely managed
to scrape together living for himself
and family. His leisure time was Civ
en- to the study of geology, and he was
soon recognized as an expert in this
science. One day, says our story tell
er, the BrattlebOrO correspondent of
the Springfield Republican, he crossed
the lake, and in rambling about came
upon a vein of granite which subse-
quently proved to be of great value
and utility. He succeeded in interest
ing others i'm his scheme, buildings
and derricks were erected and quarry
ing begun but the enterprise was
fraught with many discouragements
His own faith in the value of the find
never wavered, however, and now, in
his old age, a syndicate with ample
capital comes forward and takes pos
session of the quarry, which turns
out to be of great value, and the aged
geologist and discoverer is paid $780,
900 and still retains profitable inter-
est in the company. The little town
of Westport gets quite an impetus in
consequence of the discovery, while
the pecuniary circumstances of one
who has experienced the hardships
life are most pleasantly transformed.

The Revised Bible.

The Boston Journal has been inter
viewing some of the dealers in BIZ
bles in Boston with a view to find
ing what progress, if any, the revised
versions of the Old and New Tesla
ments have made toward general favor
or adoption. The conclusion reached
seems to be that the new versions are
not adopted as readily or generally as
was hoped and expected, in fact they
have fallen flat. Scholarly readers are
inclined to use the revised, but the
masses prefer the old King James YER
sion. DR.. Dexter thinks still another
version is needed, one that will more
fully embOdy the judgment of the
American revisers. The manager of
that sixty copies of the King James
version are sold for every one of the
revised. There is tendency to criti-
else the change which makes a less
definite distinction between chapters.
The price is also found to be an
impeachment. The general opinion is
that the first sales of the new version
were largely due to curiosity to see it,
that there then was a falling off, but
that now there is a very slight increase
i'm sales. There seems to be little pros
pect that the King James version will
ever be supplanted by the revised.

heat was frightful and the death rate
the largest ever known in a similar

VACATION SUNDAYS.

The Boston Herald, a paper that
does not run to religious articles to any
great extent, comes out with a strong
editorial on "Sunday in Summer HO-
tells" A landlord in one of the chief
hotels in the White Mountains isquOted
as saying: 81 may have anywhere
from three to five hundred guests in
the house, including two or three cler
gymen; but if ask one of these gen.
tlemen to Officiate, he may gather
fifty people, and the whole thing drags
the life out of me, because the guests
seem to think that when they are at
a summer hotel they have left their re-
ligion behind them"
After referring to the influence of
a Sabbath wasted in lOlling about with
out any special aim the question is
raised, but what of the employees of the
hotel, who behold this vast crowd of
recreant church members and respect
able people ignoring the common sane
titles of life, as they are regarded at
home. They also come from Christian
homes in the country, and look to
their patrons for some recognition of
the moral decencies of life; but it Of
ten happens that they do not hear a
prayer, or sing a hymn, or hear a ser
mon, from the beginning to the end of
the season.
1t is true, as guest once remarked
to one of these landlords, that people
do not go the White mountains to hear
preaching, but the Herald very sensi-
bly, says, that "when large companies
are together, as they now are at the
mountains or at the seashOre, and the
respect for the Lords day is even par
TALLY influential in restraining them
from the usual diversions, and there is
clergyman present, the only decent
thing is to enter heartily into such ar
rangements for religious service as
can be had. The religious people owe
it to themselves to remember their re-
ligiOus life wherever they may be, and
there is often a positive increase in the
purely personal enjoyment of ones va
cation from carrying through the whole
of it the humble, but wholesome,
spiritual feeling which is supposed to
rule at home"
These suggestions are commended to
the reader who is packing his valise
for the mountains.

Three WOnen.

Three Massachusetts women who
have lately died so well deserve the
epithet which the legends say the In
cas- of Peru valued above all other
titles-"LOvers of the PoOr"-that the
fragrance of their memories is spread
ing much wider than the grand old
state in which they served. These
women were Miss Dorothea Dix, Miss
Jennie Collins and Miss Jane Andrews.
Miss Dix's philanthropy turned to-
wards the hopeless and neglected in
sane, and through her personal efforts
and influence the letters and the whip
much used implements on this class
forty years ago-were abolished. Miss
Collins gave her life to the poor sew
ing and other laboring girls of Boston !;
establishing for them a home which
she kept up for many years by her
own force of character and indOmita-
BILE will. Miss Andrews shone in a
much smaller sphere, but her virtues
will be told when that long roll of wo-
men heroes are called of which the
world is not worthy and of which it
knows but very little.

A NEW ENGLAND NEED.
An Appeal for a Working Girls Home
i'm Boston.

An Appeal Tor a working Girls Home
i'm Boston.
To whom it may concern:
The New England Helping hand So
ciety, in their efforts toward establish
ing home for working girls, are
meeting with encouragement almost
unprecedented in the beginning of a
new work.
Many had long been anxiously wait
ing for such a movement, lamenting
silently that they knew not how to
make a beginning.
When the bugle note was sounded
in Horticultural Hall last May, they
eagerly responded, declaring their
sympathy and readiness to commence
work Immediately.
Our membership already numbers
more than 100 earnest, level-headed
women of practical experience-this
without organized effort to create a
working society.
A large programme, touching the
welfare of working women, is at this
early stage arranged.
The movement has a deeper and
wider purpose than simply feeding
and sheltering our working girls. But,
to commence: We do realize that it
is weak and hopeless task to talk to
half-starved, cold, benumbed, shiver-
ing, or sweltering humanity of their
souls welfare, or their capabilities to
rise to higher usefulness. Therefore,
our first work will be to make them
comfortable. Our next step will be to
gain their confidence. When this is
secured, our work is half accomplished
Our city, our New England (please
remember that this is the New England
Helping Hand Society is full of gen.
erous-hearted, moneyed Christians.
Will you not send your contributions
towards helping to save from degrade
ton our New England girls?
We have arranged to hold fair in
the two halls of Horticultural building,
fremont street, Boston, beginning Oct.
81, continuing through the week.
Will not the farmers of New England
our work by sending fruits
or vegetables, chickens, eggs, butter,
cheese, hams, or anything that we may
convert into money.
Our sisters, wives and daughters of
farmers, will you not remember US in
jellies, dried fruits, bedquilts, socks,
and many other things you know how
to make so nicely? Communications

The mugwump Situation.
H1rDer'S WeeELy.

The mugwump confidence in Mr.
Cleveland has been generally vindi-
Gated. He was a democrat, and he an :
nOunced frankly that his administra-
ton would be democratic. He has
taken democratic counsel, and in the
treatment of the civil service he has
unquestionably disappointed the ex-
pectatiOns Of the best friends of reform.
The pressure and traditions of his par
ty have been too strong for him, as
they were too strong for Gen. Grant
and Presidents Hayes and Garfield and
Arthur. But while frankly owning
this disappointment, it is generally
true that the manly uprightness, the
patriotic purpose, the honesty and the
simple straightforward method which
they anticipated they have found. The
pension vetOes, for which he is vehe-
mently assaulted, they think, we pre-
sumo, to have been generally wise.
The order for the return of rebel flags,
promptly revoked when found to be il
legal, they unquestionably think to
have been unwise in Outrunning pres
ent public sympathy, bat to have been
due to truly patriotic impulse. The
refusal to expose his Office to par
tisan insult they undoubtedly approve
as dignified, just and manly rebuke.
The mugwumps in supporting him
against Mr.. Blaine in '84 walked largely
by faith. In supporting him against
Mr.. Blaine in '8S they would walk by
sight. Whatever his mistakes, and
however his course may have disap-
pointed certain ardent expectations, no
sagaciOus observer can doubt that Mr..
Cleveland is much stronger with the
people of the United States than he
has ever been, and that the very char
acter of the opposition to him shows
that his adversaries are conscious of
this fact. The democratic opposition
is typified by Gov. Hill, the republican
by Mr.. Blaine. The presi-
deut's strength lies in the general ap-
prevail of intelligent democrats, of in
voters and of republicans to
whom the ascendency of Mr.. Blaine sig
mites the decadence of the party. In
a personal campaign, as that of next
year promises to be, this support will
be very significant.
